Help with putting seat covers on! Dunno how to remove Headrest
I bought a pair of Pilot Sc111 seat covers the other day while they were on sale.
But I do not know how to install them. I figured I do not need to remove the seat to add the covers, BUT! as you can see the covers will need to go over the headrest. BUT again the Monte has the seat belt holder which I am trying to remove(hopefully the seat belts still help in case anything happens). SO I need to know how to remove the headrest from a 2000-2005 monte. I saw someone who had a 06 monte but I believe those are a different model. Someone said there was a tirangular button or some sort of button to press, but I can't find this button anywhere. Can someone take a picture of the button? THANKS

Ok new problem found the way to take the head rest off. (there are 2 black plastic piece on the top of the seat it self which has a small (EXTREMELY SMALL) rectangular button which unlocks it) I tried putting the seat cover with the seat belt holder removed. But it is too tall for the cover. Then I tried putting the cover on without the head rest, but seemed sooo wrong, and short. DO you suppose I am suppose to cut two holes for the head rest like another member of the forum posted? and buy the head rest covers separately? In the beginning I was not looking for perfection as I wasn't expecting to spend more than 50 on covers, but I will probably buy a univeral set from some ebay guy now to see if that works. If everything fails, I think I will just lay off the covers and live with what I have and maybe consider just swapping out real ss seats from ebay or junk yard and really clean it up which would probably be less than 350 if I manage to be lucky(just gotta negotiate).(I didn't want to go with the cover king where their custom made ones at 170 for a material I don't think it's going to be comfortable to sit in(as in I never heard of), while the real leathers covers are 350+)

I can, I still have receipts for it. The only reason I bought it was because it had the bowtie logo, and the materials felt good, so I thought I could live with it because of the low pricing(got it for only 24 for the pair with a coupon(originals online or in other stores are 50+ a pair) so I thought what the heck). But for Looks, I think they are OK and could fit into my interior as I'm trying to keep it as close to the Black and red scheme as much as I can, but I don't consider then Ugly because of what I've seen, lol. (take a look at these.I just can't see myself putting any of those into my car as it is right now. )Well I'm now looking at ebay covers, but Don't know if I should even spend any time on it. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...m=250300040944 has a cover set for 60 shipped (even these look a bit off, I think I just like the real look more). Was thinking about it, anyone tried it? Or I should just save my money up for the real stuff? Someone in ebay was selling a set of the real leather deal(the ones where you remove your existing seat material was only 200 bucks but no one bid on them the last 2 auctions, this one is a relist, but I think this design is better suit for silver montes) was http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...m=350291429484

WELL I FINALLY PUT THEM ON!!!!!!!!!!! HERE ARE THE PICS, I totally love them, tell me what you think though. Here is what I did, replace the cloth headrest with leather ones I found on ebay, and just slip on the covers.
